One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

hello,
pls tell me more abt akhlaq

(There

Answer:

What does Akhlaq mean?

In the name of Allah, We praise
Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can
misguide, and who-ever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We
bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no
imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness
that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Akhlaq literally means character or etiquette.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter
68 Surah Qalam verse 4: And surely you (O Mohamed) are exalted to a high and
noble character.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter
33 Surah Ahzab verse 21: There is indeed the best model for you to follow, in the
Messenger of Allah, for every such person looks forward to Allah and the Last
Day, and remembers Allah much.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah Ale Imran
verse 31-32: O Prophet, tell the people, “If you sincerely love Allah, follow
me.Then Allah will love you and
forgive you your sins, for He is All Forgiving, All Merciful.”Also say to them, “Obey Allah and His
Messenger.”And if, in spite of this,
they do not accept your invitation, warn them that Allah does not love those,
who refuse to obey Him and His Messenger.

Thus the muslims are commanded by Allah to follow the
Messenger of Allah (saws), in all factions of life if they want to attain the
Mercy of Allah and His Forgiveness.

May Allah guide us to follow the Messenger of Allah (saws)
in his character, for he (saws) was indeed the best of creation.

May Allah guide you and us all to the Siraat al-Mustaqeem

Whatever written of Truth and
benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error
is of me.Allah Alone Knows Best and He
is the Only Source of Strength.
